Therefore, two important characteristics are important for these base resins: crushability and heat meltability. However, although the low molecular weight resins used as base resins have the advantage of being easily pulverized, they are pulverized too much and become too powdery, making it difficult to obtain the required particle size. The disadvantage is that the yield obtained is very low. For example, it is appropriate to grind the particles to about 20 to 50 microns for powder coatings, and about 5 to 20 microns for dry electrophotographic toners, and it is also possible to adjust the particle size within a certain range. However, when a conventional base resin is pulverized by a ball mill or jet pulverization, the average particle size is approximately 5 to 30 microns, but it is not uncommon for the particle size distribution to range from less than 1 micron to several tens of microns. It also had the property of being easily pulverized. In powder coatings, excessively pulverized particles not only cause the paint to scatter easily, causing problems such as paint loss and environmental pollution, but also contribute to the loss of surface smoothness of the paint film. In addition, as toner for dry electrophotography, these fine particles not only float in the dry electrophotographic equipment and stain the copies and deteriorate the images, but also adhere to the optical equipment and damage the equipment. It is also one of the causes of shortening the lifespan of people. Regarding heat meltability, although conventional base resins exhibit good behavior at a certain temperature, they have the disadvantage that this behavior worsens with slight temperature changes. For example, in the case of powder coatings, even a slight drop in the temperature of the paint will reduce its thermal meltability and fluidity, resulting in poor adhesion and surface smoothness of the paint film; Even when the height was increased, the molten paint flowed too much, resulting in uneven thickness at the edges and sagging of the paint.
Furthermore, when using toner for dry electrophotography, if the temperature of the fixing section is only slightly lower than the set temperature, the adhesion of the toner to the paper will be poor and the image will easily separate from the paper, and if the temperature is slightly higher than the set temperature, the toner will not adhere well to the paper. The disadvantages are that the toner soaks into the paper and the toner flows too much, reducing the resolution and making the copied image shiny and difficult to see. In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of low-molecular-weight resins conventionally used in powder coatings, etc., the present inventors have an object to provide a new resin composition with excellent crushing properties and heat-melting properties, and a method for producing the same. As a result of various studies aimed at this purpose, the present invention was achieved. That is, the gist of the present invention is a low polymerization degree polymer obtained mainly from one or more monomers selected from styrenes, acrylic esters, and methacrylic esters, and styrenes, acrylic esters, and methacrylic acid. The number average molecular weight obtained mainly from one or more monomers selected from esters is 100,000 to 100,000.
The number average molecular weight (Mn
) is 2,000 to 30,000, weight average molecular weight (Mw)
A resin composition with excellent crushing properties and heat melting properties, which has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 3.5 to 40 and a glass transition temperature of 20 to 120°C, and styrenes, 10 parts by weight of a polymerizable monomer mainly composed of one or more monomers selected from acrylic esters and methacrylic esters, and one or more monomers selected from styrenes, acrylic esters, and methacrylic esters. By polymerizing a mixed solution containing 5 to 4 parts by weight of a high polymerization degree polymer having a number average molecular weight of 100,000 to 500,000, the low polymerization degree polymer and the high polymerization degree polymer are polymerized. The resin composition has a number average molecular weight (Mn) of 2,000 to 30,000, and a weight average molecular weight (Mw)/number average molecular weight (Mn) of 3.5. 40 and a glass transition temperature of 20 to 12,000.

At the same time, the resin composition of the present invention melts at a relatively low temperature during thermal melting, exhibits relatively little decrease in cohesive force even when the temperature rises, and exhibits thermal melting properties that are less affected by temperature changes. It is something. For example, when used as a base resin for powder coatings, even if there is a slight change in temperature, the surface smoothness and adhesion to the adhered material will not deteriorate, and the thickness of the edge portion will not be affected. Furthermore, since the dawning temperature can be selected over a relatively wide range, there is also the advantage that various curing agents can be selected as appropriate. be. Furthermore, when used as a base resin for dry-type electrophotographic toner, beautiful images can be obtained without being affected by the temperature distribution of the fixing section, and the adhesion to paper is also good. Even when the temperature increases, the cohesive force decreases relatively little, so it is used as a base resin for dry type electrophotographic toner for high-speed copying, and the resin does not stick to the heating plate even if it is directly attached to the heating plate. This makes it possible to heat and fix at high speed with high thermal efficiency without causing an offset phenomenon. In addition, in the present invention, it is necessary that the low polymerization degree polymer and the high polymerization degree polymer are mixed uniformly to the extent that they can be obtained through a solution-like mixing state. In order to uniformly mix the two, it is insufficient to thermally melt them and mechanically mix them, and a higher degree of mixing is required. Methods for achieving such uniform mixing include, for example, adding and dissolving both in an appropriate solvent, mixing thoroughly, and then removing the solvent to obtain a mixture; or adding a high polymerization degree polymer to a polymerizable monomer. One method is to dissolve the mixture into a mixed solution and polymerize it using a conventional method, but the latter method is preferable because it can easily achieve more uniform mixing and is advantageous in terms of process. preferable. In such a homogeneous mixture, the high molecular weight segments and low molecular weight segments are mixed together, and the high molecular weight segments prevent the cohesive force from decreasing during hot melting, and the low molecular weight segments As a result, it is thought to exhibit excellent thermal melting properties in that it is melted at a relatively low temperature, but the cohesive force does not decrease much even when the temperature increases. It is believed that by imparting strong balling properties to the product while making the low molecular weight segments more susceptible to crushing, superior crushing properties result.

Further, depending on the use of the resin composition of the present invention, it may be preferable that the softening point according to the ring and ball method is about 100 to 1700. Next, as for the method of manufacturing the resin composition of the present invention, as described above, a method of dissolving a high polymerization degree polymer in a polymerizable monomer to form a mixed solution and polymerizing this is advantageously adopted. In this case, based on 10 parts by weight of the polymerizable monomer. Number average molecular weight 100,000~

In the polymerization, the resin composition obtained by the polymerization has a Mn of 2,000 to 30,000, a Mw/Mn of 3.5 to 40, and a glass transition temperature of 20 to 120 qo. This is what we do. In addition, according to a general polymerization method in which a polymerizable monomer is directly polymerized to form a polymer, Mn can be varied widely depending on the polymerization conditions.
Mw/Mn is usually only 1.5 to 3.0. Therefore, in the polymerization according to the method of the present invention, polymerization initiators commonly used in the polymerization of vinyl monomers, such as lauroyl peroxide, penzoyl peroxide, tert-butyl peroxide, and azobisisobutyronitrile, are used. However, a relatively large amount of the polymerization initiator is used, such as 2 parts or more based on 10 parts by weight of the monomer.

In the case of bulk polymerization, the polymerizable monomer can be made into a polymer with a low degree of polymerization by polymerizing at a high temperature and increasing the rate of termination reaction. In this method, a mixed solution of a polymerizable monomer and a high polymerization degree polymer can be prepared by adding and dissolving a polymer with a high polymerization degree that has been polymerized in advance into the polymerizable monomer, or by adding and dissolving the polymerizable monomer. There is a method in which a polymer with a high degree of polymerization is contained in the polymerizable monomer by polymerizing - at a low temperature and interrupting the reaction at the initial stage of polymerization. In addition, in the case of solution polymerization, the polymerizable monomer can be made into a polymer with a low degree of polymerization by utilizing chain transfer of radicals by a solvent. Even in this method, in order to prepare a mixed solution of a polymerizable monomer and a high polymerization degree polymer, there is a method of adding a high polymerization degree polymer prepared in advance to a polymerizable monomer solution, There are methods such as polymerizing monomers at low temperatures and interrupting the reaction at the initial stage of polymerization. Next, the suspension polymerization method will be explained. In the present invention, this method is significantly more advantageous than the above two methods. In other words, when using the bulk polymerization method, there is a drawback that the high polymerization degree polymer may be cut due to the tethering force when polymerization is carried out while carrying out the monomer solution, which contains a high polymerization degree polymer and has a high viscosity. In addition, since a solvent is used in the solution polymerization method, various precautions must be taken, and steps of solvent removal and solvent recovery are required.
In the suspension polymerization method, no cutting force is applied, so there is no need to take into consideration the cutting of molecules, and since no solvent is used, problems associated with the use of solvents do not occur. Furthermore, in the suspension polymerization method, the resin composition obtained by polymerization has a pearl-like shape and is easy to separate and wash. In addition, in the suspension polymerization method, in order to prepare a mixed solution of a polymerizable monomer and a high polymerization degree polymer, the high polymerization degree polymer prepared in advance is dissolved in the polymerizable monomer to form a mixed solution. Alternatively, a polymerizable monomer may be added to a suspension system of a polymer in which the polymerizable monomer has been suspended and polymerized, and then mixed to form a monomer solution in which the polymer is dissolved in the monomer. may be in a suspended state. In addition to these methods, various methods for dissolving the highly polymerized polymer in the polymerizable monomer may be employed.

For the reasons mentioned above, it is advantageous to employ the suspension polymerization method in the production method of the present invention, but since the polymerization initiator is used at a high concentration in order to lower the degree of polymerization, The viscosity increases due to the inclusion of polymer in the monomer,
Due to the so-called gel effect, there is a tendency for the temperature of the polymerization system to rise too much during polymerization, but the present inventors have also been able to solve the problems associated with the adoption of such a suspension polymerization method. It is. In other words, by using Q-methylstyrene as a part of the polymerizable monomer, Q-methylstyrene acts as a retarder for the polymerization reaction, suppresses heat generation in the polymerization system, and can normally control the polymerization reaction. . In addition to this, the addition of Q-methylstyrene also has the effect of further reducing the degree of polymerization of the resulting polymer. Therefore, by using Q-methylstyrene as part of the polymerizable monomer and using a relatively large amount of polymerization initiator, it is possible to easily produce a product with a low degree of polymerization. Furthermore, in conventional methods for producing polymers with a low degree of polymerization, mercaptan was used as a chain transfer agent, which left a mercaptan odor in the product, significantly reducing its commercial value. However, according to the above method, such drawbacks can be overcome.

In addition, when the suspension polymerization method is adopted in the method of the present invention, the viscosity of the suspended particles in the initial stage of the polymerization system becomes high due to the high polymerization degree polymer being dissolved in the polymerizable monomer. This contributes to the stability of the suspension system, prevents the migration of monomers into water, prevents the formation of fine powder, and has the unexpected effect of reducing the inclusion of impurities such as suspension stabilizers that adversely affect the product. It can also be effective.
